ODBC Extension for Win32.

This module wraps the Windows ODBC API. A script opens a connection to
any data source that has an ODBC driver, by DSN or by connection string,
sends SQL with `Sql()`, and reads the results back with `FetchRow()`.

Dave Roth released the original in 1996, building on Dan DeMaggio's
ODBC code. It shipped in the `libwin32` bundle until Jan Dubois split it
out for separate CPAN release in 2008. The perl-libwin32 organization
now maintains it. `README.TXT` is Dave Roth's original manual, but its
build and install steps are obsolete.
